The Living Tradition of Living in the Law: Paul's Use of Leviticus 18:5

This essay addresses Paul's quotations of Leviticus 18:5 in Galatians and Romans. Starting from the interpretive tradition of Leviticus 18:5, intertextuality between the quotation and the surrounding texts is traced along with echoes of Leviticus 18:5 throughout each epistle. It is demonstrated that Paul interpreted Leviticus 18:5 in Galatians in connection to the reward of life. In Romans, on the other hand, Paul interpreted Leviticus 18:5 as the law written on the hearts of those who are in Christ –thus fulfilling its covenantal function. Rather than implying inconsistency, Paul's different applications of Leviticus 18:5 are consistent with the unity of his view on the law

Knowing Yet Not Knowing: the Irony of the Evangel in Romans 10

Is Romans 10 simply an excursus on the need for evangelism and mission in the midst of Paul's “doctrine of predestination”? In this article, a chiasm is identified and utilized as a framework to further analyze Romans 10. It is demonstrated that the chiasm lends itself to accentuate the epistemological irony of Israel's response to the gospel. Despite the glory of the gospel that was proclaimed in the Hebrew Bible, the majority of the Jews in Paul's time remained in ignorance as they missed the hermeneutical key to understanding the Mosaic Law, namely, “Christ is the goal of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” Rather than an excursus within Paul's doctrinal discourse, Romans 10 is the climax of the irony of Israel as the most privileged people who failed in their hearing and understanding

Hybrid Linear-Iterative Detection Algorithms for MIMO CDMA

Conference PaperWe assume a CDMA downlink multiuser scenario, where the base station is equipped with multiple transmit antennas, and each user has multiple receive antennas. For this setup we propose a new, computationally effective MIMO multiuser detector for frequency selective channels. We exploit the fact that the interference mainly comes from the spatial domain, while the residual interference is due to temporal dispersion and multiuser interference. This motivates us to suppress the residual interference in a linear fashion, while combating the spatial interference iteratively. This approach is an efficient performance-complexity tradeoff between full iterative and linear detectors

Low Complexity Space-Time Multiuser Detectors

A design framework for space-time multiuser detectors is introduced based on the recently introduced notion of canonical space-time coordinates (CSTC). The CSTC system employs a fixed set of basis signals which eliminates the need for estimating direction of arrivals (DOAs) and delays of the channel, thereby allowing significant reduction in receiver complexity. The proposed framework is based on a hybrid structure for multiuser detection which combines the power of centralized processing and the flexibility of decentralized reception. In the first stage, a subset of users whose spreading codes are assumed known are suppressed in a centralized fashion. The remaining interference is suppressed via the second stage in an adaptive decentralized mode. The hybrid scheme offers a flexible design framework by offering lower complexity compared to fully centralized receivers and improved adaptive performance compared to fully decentralized schemes. I.
